High-resolution imaging shows how MraZ breaks and deforms to attach to repeated DNA sequences, activating the gene cluster ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Researchers found three bacteriophages disable MurJ, a key cell wall transporter, by locking it outward-facing. This blocks peptidoglycan synthesis, killing bacteria and revealing a new antibiotic ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...
